whom the gods notice they destroy (2022) A5

back


A publication about the connection between artistry, creativity and bipolar disorder through the lens of cultural as well as family histories - it criticizes the romanticization of mental illness in art contexts while acknowledging the link between mental illness and creativity.
Heavily based on the work of Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, particularly her seminal book Touched With Fire : Manic depressive illness and the artistic temperament (1996)
